Rhythm & Blues [2/13 – 2/19]

Rhythm & Blues traces its roots to early American blues and gospel, and grew into its
own full-fledged genre after it emerged from the boogie-woogie piano playing style
of New Orleans and the big bands of the 1940s. In the 1950s and 1960s, it spread the
world over. Join us this week as we soak up the soulful sounds of Rhythm & Blues,
from its home in New Orleans to Africa and South America.
